well guys, after 3 months I'm back. I finially had time to finish off chapter 4 so I decided to reward all you lovely patient people with this longer chapter. I don't have time to fix any chapters but here is this one. hopefully this is mistake free. But knowing me it's not. Please enjoy!

After staring at each other for a bit, Skulker finally said, "Look. I know you can take care of yourself, but this is Vlad. He's not like he was before. He is far more powerful than when we last saw him. And I can't risk you getting hurt."

She still wasn't happy, but she knew one of us would've done something to make sure she stayed hidden. Whether it was me trapping her in a thermos, or putting her in another energy cage, or Skulker putting her in some kind of trap. Her best option was just quietly comply.

After quietly sitting down on my bed, Skulker and I left to go talk to the others. Peter and Gamora were silent, and Groot was staring off into nowhere. Vlad and Rocket were arguing and Drax was doing something on one of the many computers.

"I'm telling you Rocket, the new shield will never work!" Vlad yelled.

"Now you listen here, Spaceman. I've been making the ship's shields longer than you have and I know how space is on a giant piece of metal, so I WILL MAKE THE SHEILD HOW I WANT IT!" Rocket snapped. Vlad growled at the raccoon and his eye glowed with energy, as the other was still covered by the eyepatch.

I cleared my throat. "AHEM! So, what's going on? Are we getting closer to the Nor-va Corps?" I said.

"It's 'Nova' Corps, Daniel, and yes. See that planet in front of us?" Vlad said rubbing his temples. I looked out and saw the planet that kinda looked like Earth, but with more water than there is land. I couldn't really see much land. I turned back to Vlad and nodded.

"That, my dear boy, is Xandar. The home planet of Xandarians and headquarters to the Nova Corps. And that is where we are going next. Well, where we'll TRY to go next, that is if the terrible shield Rocket made does manage to protect us from Xandar's atmosphere." He said as he turned towards Rocket accusingly. Rocket growled.

"I swear Vlad I am two seconds from turning on the Ghost shield and letting it fry you."

"NO!" Skulker and I yelled at the same time. Vlad looked at us weird.

"Uh- ahem- uh I mean. Rocket, Vlad isn't the only ghost here anymore. There's also me and Skulker!" I said.

"And Emb- oof!" I elbowed him before he said it right in front of Vlad. I looked at him with a forced smile.

"No. It's just us!" I said through clenched teeth. Skulker wisely shut his mouth.

"What was that? Who else-"

Vlad started but was interrupted by Gamora, who said. "We have an incoming transmission from Nova."

As she finished, a quiet beeping sound went off, similar to what was in the Fenton Jet during the Reality Gauntlet thing with Freakshow.

"This is Denarian Dey, from the Nova Corps. Please state your business before coming any closer, Ravager." A voice which kinda sounded like my dad said.

"This is Peter Quill. We radioed ahead to let you guys know that we were coming." Peter said, speaking for the first time.

"Oh hi Quill. Go ahead. Land in bay 4 please." Danaran Dey said.

"You got it, Dey." Peter said as he and Gamora messed with a few controls. As they did this, Drax strapped into the chair he was in, Rocket and Groot sat in similar chairs, with Vlad following.

Peter slowly pushed a lever on his chair and the ship went forward. There was a small lurch, but it wasn't too different from a car. We circled a building that was in the shape of a sharply pointed star. We landed on one of the 5 tips that were sticking up in the air.

A man in a blue uniform with various armor patterns and a 3 point "v" shape that glowed orange-yellow on the chest walked up, following behind a woman with white hair bunch up on the top of her head and in front of her forehead, in an official looking version of what the guy was wearing came out to greet us.

"Welcome, Guardians. It is good to see you again. Do you have the Ravager?" the woman said.

"Hello, Nova Prime. No, we don't and we have an explanation, but it's a long story. Is there somewhere we can talk?" Peter said.

"Of course. If you will follow Denarian Dey. But, could the one who wanted to speak to us alone please stay behind?" She said, watching which one of us stayed. As the others and Skulker turned to follow Dey, I turned to Skulker.

"Better stay with me Skulker. Just in case."

"Well, does that mean I have to stay to?" Ember said as she appeared right next to me. I jumped a little, not knowing she was there. My Ghost Sense must have thought that she was Skulker or Vlad, because it didn't go off.

"I thought you were going to stay on the ship?!" I said, both surprised and angry that she didn't.

"What? I was going to stay invisible. If you didn't know I was there, how would have Vlad known?" she said with a look of accomplishment. Skulker only shook his head chuckling.

I sighed and turned to Nova Prime. "Hi. My name is Danny. I was the one who wanted to speak to you. Well, I wanted to speak to Nova, but I guess you're the leader?" she nodded.

"Yes. That is why I am Nova Prime. I was honestly surprised when Gamora said that someone from Terra wanted to speak about an alliance with us. Usually you Terran's are too afraid to speak with us."

"Well, I honestly didn't know about you until recently. Which is part of the long story that they were going to tell you." I said, trying to be polite.

"Well in that case, we can just join the others and-" she began, but I stopped her.

"NO! I mean- ahem- sorry for interrupting, but we can't. Not only did I want to talk about an alliance, I also came to warn you about one of the Guardians."

"One of the Guardians?" she asked, sounding both alarmed and suspicious.

"Yes. But probably not the one you are thinking of. Well maybe." I said, thinking out loud.

"Oh it's not Rocket is it?" she sighed. "I'm afraid that I've worried at what exactly that raccoon could accomplish." She trailed off in worry.

"No ma'am. It's not Rocket. It's Vlad." I said, now wondering about Rocket and what she could possibly worry about.

"Vlad? You must be mistaken." She said with a tone that made me wonder if she was starting to get impatient with me and this conversation.

"No ma'am, I'm not. You see, I've battled him ever since I became what and who I am. He has done many evil things. Things like release criminals,- " I thought of Vortex. "-put the Earth in danger many times, and even use one of those times to try and rule the Earth. He craves power, and now he has a portal to the Ghost Zone, which means there is the possibility of him traveling through time and space to rule, and now that I'm learning more and more, I'm sure that he wants to destroy Thanos just to take his place." I realized how much information I just threw on her.

I looked up at her, expecting her to look at me as if I was crazy; but she wasn't. She was looking at the floor in thought. I was growing more and more worried by the second.

"Vlad, you said?" she said after a few moments of silence.

"Yes." I said nervously. Her silence only making my nerves to get worse.

She sighed. "I guess I should've known. There were so many red flags that I should have known to be wary of…" she trailed off.

"Red flags, ma'am?"

"Yes." She nodded gravelly. "Never truly explaining just how he ended up floating in space, then coming to us on his own, without the other Guardians, to ask about the Infinity Stones, asking about the weaknesses of Thanos." She appeared to be blaming herself. I was very confused.

"Well, if you don't mind me asking, what are Infinity Stones? Are they bad? A weapon?" I had a feeling that this question would make her more suspicious of me, but curiosity got the best of me.

"While yes, I do mind, I'll tell you this: in the wrong hands, they could mean the destruction of the entire Galaxy." She said, looking at me suspiciously.

I looked down, hoping to appear shameful. Skulker looked at me quizzically. I hoped he realized why I was doing it, but I had a feeling he didn't.

"I understand, ma'am."

She pursed her lips. "So, are you sure that Vlad has intentions to rule the galaxy?"

"Experience says so."

"experience…" She rose a brow. "Do you have any other kinds of evidence?"

"Yes ma'am. He has built a secret portal to the Ghost Zone and tried to make it where only he could interact with it, and also he lied about what he is to the other Guardians." I finished, beginning to suspect that she didn't believe me about him.

"I'm afraid that that is not true evidence." She sighed. "But you are sure? You've spent much time around him to know that he plans to do this?"

"Well, not recently but in years prior-" she stopped me.

"Prior to what?"

"Before he almost destroyed the Earth."

Hopefully that will satisfy because I know that I will not be able to write much again so the on again off again hiatus is on! Expect like extremely random updates throught the rest of 2016... school will be killer. Goodbye everyone and until next time! Bye! :)
